   My dear brethren and sisters in Christ Jesus, just a couple of items in relation to the angels that we never touched upon yesterday, although we intended to do so. And number one, those angels are given names, as we have seen. There was Gabriel, for example. And in the 8th chapter of Daniel, and at verse 13, we have another angel who is also named for us, and who introduces us to some subjects of deep importance. And in the 8th chapter of Daniel, and at verse 13, Daniel says, I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the image concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden underfoot? And he said unto me, Until 2,300 days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. So here we have a conversation between two angels. And one angel wants to know how long. And when you go to the record of Peter, Peter tells us that the angels were looking into these things. They desired to know. And the Lord himself says in Mark chapter 13, that of the day and hour knoweth no man know not the angels in heaven. But those angels are very excited, the same as we are upon the earth. And they keenly look into the things that have been revealed to them, and for the time periods when these things shall be fulfilled.

2. 1:45

   And it's rather wonderful, isn't it, to consider those angels in the heavens, considering the very things that we're considering, and looking into the signs of the times as they must do so, as we find from Peter's words. And here we have the conversation between two of them. And notice that one saint speaking unto another saint said to that certain saint, that in the margin of your Bible, should you have an Oxford wide margin Bible, in the margin of your Bible, you're given the name of that saint. Instead of that certain saint, the name of that saint was given. And he is the numberer. He is in charge of the time periods, evidently. And he is called the numberer. So one angel went to the other angel, whose name was the numberer, and he says, how long? He desires to know how long. And in relation to this particular prophecy, he gives him a time period, 2,300 years. He says, the sanctuary shall be trotted underfoot.

3. 2:52

   And you notice that in this prophecy, the word sanctuary occurs twice. You have it in verse 11, you have it in verse 13. But in the Hebrew, two different words. And the sanctuary of verse 11, is the temple. But the sanctuary of verse 13, can relate to either the holy place, or the holy city, or the holy people. But we're not left in doubt as to what that refers to, because the Lord Jesus Christ quoted that prophecy in the 21st chapter of Luke, in verse 24, when he says, Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. So said the Lord Jesus Christ, in Luke chapter 21, and verse 24. And those words were a citation of this very prophecy.

4. 3:45

   The sanctuary shall be trodden underfoot. The holy place, or the holy city, shall be trodden underfoot. And the Lord says it would be trodden underfoot until the times of the Gentiles. And here this numberer says, that is a period of 2,300 days, or 2,300 years. And the initial prophecy of that chapter is a prophecy that describes the goat and the lamb warring together. And we are told that the goat represents the goat represents the power of Grisha, and the ram represents the power of Persia.

5. 4:22

   And therefore I believe that that would be the time whereby we must date this 2,300 days, or 2,300 years. And it was in the year, it was in the battle of Guernicus, and in the battle of Isis, that the power of Persia was defeated by Alexander the Great. And the battle of Guernicus took place in the year 333 BC, and the battle of Isis, 334 BC. And that opened the whole of the Middle East to Alexander the Great, and his armies swept down through Palestine, and they took possession of Egypt.

6. 5:02

   And that opened the whole of the Old Testament, and the battle of Israel, and the battle of B.C. 333. If you add on to B.C. 333, the period of 2,300 years, it brings you to 1967. And therefore, as we know what happened in 1967, we have a remarkable fulfillment, I believe, an initial fulfillment of that particular prophecy. As a matter of fact, long before 1967, when I was studying the prophecy of Daniel, and as I've got marked in the margin of my Bible, and I've left it there, though the date is wrong, long before 1967, I had determined that Guernicus would have been the period of time, and I had taken the period of time from Guernicus to be 1966. I was out a year, you see, because I didn't make provision for the year, that the extra year that should be added on.

7. 6:06

   Because actually, Guernicus to 1967 is 2,300 years. I had added up wrong. I didn't have a computer, you know, those adding machines in those days, and I'd added that up wrong. But I've got here in 1966. It was actually 1967. And we're living in marvelous times. We're living in the times when the angel numberer is taking hold of events, and bringing them to fruition at the very time in which Yahweh has determined it. And when you come to another prophecy, Joel chapter 3, you find that here we have the same principle advanced as we are seeing happening in the earth at this particular time. So, in Joel chapter 3, the prophet Joel speaks of the very things that we have seen in our day and generation. And again, he uses the word behold. And remember, I said we should take heed wherever that word is used. Because the prophet, in using that word behold, wants us to rivet our attention upon what he is saying. So we read, behold, in those days, and at that time, when I bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem. First the people, then the city.

8. 7:29

   Judah the people, Jerusalem the city. I will bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem. And I will bring all nations, gather all nations, and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Look, we're seeing those things taking place now. We saw the people return in 1917 onwards. We saw the city of Jerusalem delivered from its captivity in 1967. We're seeing the eyes of all nations riveted upon the Middle East exactly as Joel said 2,500 years ago. We've even got the time period here in Daniel's prophecy concerning these particular times. But what I want to emphasize is not so much that time period, but the name that's given to that angel. His is the name, the numberer. And you know, in the days of Samson, at least before the days of Samson, in the days of Samson's father Manoah, an angel appeared unto him. And Manoah wanted to know the name of that angel. And he gave him the name. The name of that angel, as given then, was wonderful, because he did wondrously. And his name was wonderful. So you see, here are certain names given to those angels. Wonderful. Gabriel. And you know, the Lord Jesus Christ in himself, he gathers to himself all those names, and they are invested in him. Because you know what Isaiah 9 of verse 6 says? He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God. The Mighty God is El Gibor. The Mighty God is the same as Gabriel. Gabriel is the Mighty God. It means El Gibor. And here you have the same titles invested upon the Lord Jesus Christ.

9. 9:18

   So they have their names. They have their individual identities, the same as we will in the age to come. And we will know one another. And won't it be a glorious thing, brethren and sisters? I often think this, with my own ecclesia back home of Woodville.

10. 9:36

    You feel very close to brethren with whom you have worked. And I've often thought, what a wonderful thing it will be. In the age to come, clothed upon with immortality, going forth as the Elohim of the age to come, in company with those we've laboured with now. And going forth to proclaim the message in every part of the earth, and operating as the elect of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Elohim of the age to come. A wonderful thing to bear in mind.

11. 10:07

    And as we gather together in a Bible school like this, and we're drawn so closely together, because we're reading and studying the Word of God together, that is the great principle that motivates my mind at times like this. The friendships in the truth, the relationships we establish now, they have the seeds of permanency in them. They're going to go on for ages upon ages, as the immortal angels of the age to come. Now let's see some more of the work of those angels, before we deal with the signs of the times. And in the seventh chapter, again of verse 30, Daniel, Hannah verses 13 and 14, we see the angels conducting the Lord Jesus Christ before the Father in the heavens. We read in verse 13, I saw in the night visions. Remember what the Lord said to the apostles, the night cometh, he said. So long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. But he says, I'm going to go to the Father. Then night comes.

12. 11:13

    Now here you see, I saw in the night visions. And behold, one like unto the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Now there's the picture of the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavens being presented to the Father with a company of angels with him conducting the Son in triumph for the Lord Jesus Christ. A few weeks earlier, brethren and sisters, he was dead upon the cross with people mocking at him. A few weeks earlier he was like that.

13. 12:01

    Now he's brought into the very presence of the great Creator of heaven and earth, Yahweh himself, conducted there by the angels, and they presented to the Father. And he has given all authority in heaven and earth as Peter says. And the very affairs of the world are now subject to his control under the angels that still remain the ministering spirits. And so when he returns, he returns in the power of his Father. He returns as the Ancient of Days to manifest the power of Yahweh in the earth as we see in verse 22. And so we see the work of the angels, even with the Lord Jesus Christ conducting him in the presence of the Father.

14. 12:44

    And if you like to take this subject up further, you can do so with the greatest of prophets. Go to the life of the Lord. See the angelic ministration in his own life. See him in the garden of Gethsemane pouring out his feelings as blood as it were. The sweat streams from his forehead and the angel is there to strengthen him. Hear the voice that sounded like thunder when I have glorified it and were glorified again. Consider the angels that sang at the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, that excitedly saw the birth of the Son and realized the time for the consummation of all the work that they put into the affairs of men would be brought to a fruition through the one that was being born. Or consider him on the Mount of Olives and he's about to ascend into heaven and the angels are there to speak to the apostles to speak to the apostles to speak to the apostles. Or at these two where the angels were there. And now see him, he's in heaven now and the angels are conducting him before the presence of the Father. And so angelic ministration is in the life of all the worthies of old and in our lives as well. Thank God.

15. 13:50

    In the thirteenth chapter of Matthew Hannah verse sixteen We have some words of the Lord that apply to the Lord Jesus and the apostles in those days, but we can apply these things to ourselves as we come to consider the remarkable times in which we are living. And the Lord said to the apostles, Blessed are your eyes, Matthew 13 and verse sixteen, Blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear. For verily I say unto you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see and have not seen them, and to hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them.

16. 14:38

    Do you know if those words apply to ourselves as we see the signs of the times about us? Would not Ezekiel delight to see the uprise of Russia? Would not Isaiah delight to see the return of Israel back to the land and the revival of that nation? Would not Daniel like to see the things that we are seeing in the earth at this present time?

17. 14:58

    There are I say unto you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see and have not seen them. Would not brother Thomas and brother Roberts thrill to the things that we see in the earth at this present time? Of course they would. And so we should thrill. But I'll tell you something that is a danger.

18. 15:18

    And that is this. That the signs of the times are happening so rapidly that we're getting used to them and we're taking them for granted. And the power and the excitement of it all escapes us. Because every day there are signs that speak of Christ's return. And we say it, we speak of this so frequently that I believe that the power of it all escapes us. And therefore we must center our attention upon the future in a very marked way that we never lose the excitement of the truth.

19. 15:49

    And so we want to deal just briefly with some of the signs of the times that we have in the book of Daniel. And first of all we'll look at this image that Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. In Daniel chapter 2 and verse 5 we are told that Nebuchadnezzar, I believe, never forgot that dream.

20. 16:11

    It reads as though Nebuchadnezzar forgot the dream and he wanted to be reminded of the dream. But so powerfully was that dream impressed upon his mind, I don't think that he ever forgot it. And it doesn't so that he ever forgot it. At no time does he say that he ever forgot it. In fact, just the contrary.

21. 16:29

    And then he says to the Chaldeans in verse 5, The thing is gone from me, if you will not make known unto me the dream with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces. Now he doesn't mean when he says the thing is gone from me that he's forgotten the dream. What he means is the word has gone forth, that the decree has gone forth.

22. 16:51

    You tell me the dream and the interpretation or you will be destroyed. And you know, when Daniel stood before the king, he endorsed this interpretation of it. So you see, what Nebuchadnezzar wants, he wants to be absolutely certain that the interpretation is sound. Therefore he does not altogether trust his Chaldeans and wise men.

23. 17:14

    So he says, as a token that you can really give a proper interpretation, tell me the dream. They say it's a ridiculous thing to ask. And of course it was until Daniel the prophet stood before the king and told him the meaning of the dream. And told him the dream itself. And the king recognized that dream when Daniel told it to him.

24. 17:36

    But what Daniel said in verse 28 is something that's very important in these days. There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. That's the key to your dream. That's the key to the meaning of that image. What the king saw will happen in the last days.

25. 17:58

    The king saw that image stand up complete. He saw the image complete. And Daniel says that's what's going to happen in the last days. And that, brethren and sisters, is what we are seeing forming at this particular time. He explains that dream. O thou, O king, verse 31, sawest and behold a great image.

26. 18:22

    This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee, and the form thereof was terrible. It was exceeding luminous. It had a tremendous glory. And it was frightening in its aspect. And you can imagine the king upon his bed asleep with a vision like that over his head. A dream like that. And he's startled at the glory of that great and terrible image that he sees.

27. 18:47

    And he's fearful because the appearance of it is terrible. And he sees that stone come out of the mountain without hands that destroys the image upon the feet. And brings all the power of it crumbling together. So it is the purpose of Yahweh that such a confederacy of nations should take place. And I want to quote to you a passage from a book, Elphus Israel.

28. 19:15

    This particular Elphus Israel is a very treasured possession of mine. Because it's the oldest Elphus Israel in Australia. It belonged to my grandfather. And my father lent it to me. And then by a strange coincidence, he could never find it again. So it is in my possession now, you see. And here is a statement that Brother Thomas says in Elphus Israel, that unfortunately you won't find in the copy that you purchased today.

29. 19:43

    And it's dealing with the autograph of Russia. He or our successor will wield a scepter in Constantinople for magnitude of power and extent of dominion, such as the world has never yet witnessed since Nimrod hunted men as beasts before the Lord. Russia's mission is to reduce all the nations of the old world, so Britain and her dependencies into one imperial dominion, represented in the book of Daniel by the image of Nebuchadnezzar.

30. 20:17

    Licentiousness will again break loose. Is that true today? Has licentiousness broken loose? And in the Malay, the Austro-Papal Empire will succumb. Where is it today? The contest will end in the discomfiture of the continent. And Russia, like a mighty inundation, will overflow the nations and dash her waves upon the shores from the Danish belts to the Dardanelles.

31. 20:43

    Britain will rage and shake the world with her thunder. But as in the days of Napoleon, her alliance, the common market, that's not in the book, her alliance will be fatal to them that trust her and only precipitate their fall. Let Russia, however, beware how he lays hands on Syria. Europe and Turkey will be his.

32. 21:08

    Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, and at length, Israel. But in Palestine, the power of Russia will be broken. Not bad for 120 or more years ago. And there we have an interpretation of this image. Now we're going to look a little more carefully at verse 37. Thou, O King, art a King of kings, for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom of power and strength and glory.

33. 21:40

    See how bold Daniel is? How fearless he is? That king is a dictator. That king has ordered the death of all the wise men. Now comes the young teenager into the presence of that king. And he says, you think that your power and ingenuity, your strength of purpose and your wisdom have given you this power?

34. 22:03

    Get it out of your mind, Nebuchadnezzar. The God of Israel has given you that. The God of heaven has given you that. He's given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory. And you notice in verse 44, he's going to take it away from you. The God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed.

35. 22:20

    We're going to smash all those images. Smash the power of that image. Together with a head that is representative of you. What does Nebuchadnezzar do in chapter 3? He makes another image. He compels people to bow down to it. But that image is not of composite metals. It's all of gold. Thou art the head of gold.

36. 22:42

    So Nebuchadnezzar is going to fight destiny. He makes an image all of gold representative of the power of Babylon. It will never be overthrown. He built Babylon so that no one could destroy it. So he thought. He built that image all of gold and he commanded people to bow down before him. And all did so as we saw except Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

37. 23:04

    The God of heaven gave you a kingdom. The God of heaven will take it away. And again notice what is stated in this image. Notice how it speaks of communism. I brought this out of the lecture. But I do so again because I think this is quite significant. He's dealing with the toes in verse 42.

38. 23:26

    And this is the kingdom. And it becomes kingdoms that are partly strong and partly broken. And he's dealing with kings you see. And he's showing the deterioration in the form of rule. That's one part of the image. A deterioration in the form of rule. Thou art the head of gold. But down here you've got feet, part of iron and part of grey.

39. 23:49

    Thou art the head of gold. That means in Daniel chapter 5 For the majesty that he gave Nebuchadnezzar All people, nations and languages Trimpled of fear before him. Whom he would he slew. Whom he would he kept alive. Whom he would he set up. Whom he would he put down. That's the head of gold.

40. 24:10

    Dictatorial power. Autocratic power. And down here, feet, part of iron and part of clay. So we read in verse 43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with murray clay They, the kings, the kingdoms, the authorities Shall mingle themselves with the seed of men And the word is Enosh The weakest of men The lowest of men So the rulers will mingle with the lowest of men That's democracy or communism When the rulers mingle with the lowest of men And they combine to set up a form of rule And that's what Daniel told the king they should do In the deterioration of the form of rule That would be set up But they shall not cleave one to another Even as iron is not mixed with murray and clay Let us turn to what was said at 1848 See if it's true to the facts of today Where brother Thomas wrote this In 1848 there were two men arose Who were going to powerfully influence People that followed on One was Karl Marx And one was Dr. Thomas Both wrote in 1848 In 1848 The Communist Manifesto Was published by Karl Marx In 1848 Elphys Israel was published by brother Thomas In 1848 there were revolutions right throughout Europe As a result of the work of Karl Marx But those revolutions were put down with an iron hand And for a time Communism could not prevail Brother Thomas wrote In 1848 Every throne was shaken to its foundations The events of this wonderful year Are too recent to require to be chronicled in this place It will be enough to say That the democracy Communism Broke loose

41. 26:13

    And commenced a movement Which although it has been restrained To prevent it progressing too rapidly Cannot be suppressed Until the little horn Or two horned beast And his prophet Be destroyed to the end And the dominion of the ten horn Be taken away That book is saying In 1848 That as far as communism is concerned Though they have restrained it It's got a purpose to play In the plan of God And will be a means whereby That image will be welded together That's the heritage That we had In the pioneer literature Of the truth And of course again You've got the image Standing upon two feet That brother Thomas Aligns in exposition of Daniel With the divided Europe And remarkably Brother Thomas points out That Europe must be divided Into two parts Answering to the two legs Of the image And on the western side There would be the power of Germany In the ascendancy And on the eastern side The power of Russia Though both will be brought Under the influence of Russia There will, he says Be a division While the head Breast Arms Belly Thighs Legs and toes Have all existed The feet have yet to be formed The feet have yet to be formed The toes have existed But the two feet Have yet to be formed You are seeing that happen Before your eyes And that's the remarkable times In which we are living In the seventh chapter of Daniel And verse 26 In the seventh chapter of Daniel And verse 26 I think I'll have to leave that Because time is getting away from me Actually you know That verse there

42. 28:19

    That I was going to quote Dealing with the Judgment shall sin And they shall take away His dominion To consume and destroy And unto the end The interpretation of that verse Is the key to part three Of Elphus Israel Many brethren Fail to understand That third part of Elphus Israel It's the key to the system Of prophecy Brother Thomas outlines In Elphus Israel You know what he says In one place In Elphus Israel You who have read it He says As we have seen elsewhere The Austro-German power Must be overthrown By fire and sword So that when that is completed The gobship will be taken over By Russia It's based upon This passage of scripture And that passage of scripture Provides the key That will unlock That third part of Elphus Israel And I believe Give you an outstanding Understanding Of the plan of prophecy Containing the word of God But my time Is going too quickly For me to deal with that Unfortunately So we'll just move on To the eighth chapter And verse 25 And here we have The latter day manifestation Of the fourth feast The latter day manifestation Of the fourth feast And the latter day manifestation Of the fourth feast Requires that Constantinople Be freed of the Turk And when Russia moves down And takes Constantinople Russia will be in the eastern capital Of the Roman Empire And will comprise It will comprise The latter day manifestation Of the fourth feast And in this latter manifestation Of the fourth feast We're told what he's going to do Through his policy He shall cause Craft to prosper In his hand He's going to cause

43. 30:03

    Craft to prosper In his hand In Jeremiah chapter 9 Of verse 6 The same word Is used for religion So he's going to cause Religion to prosper In his hand In his power He's going to help Religion What religion One religion The religion he's going to help Will be Roman Catholicism By which they will be Welded together The image that Daniel saw Now that's his policy To cause craft To prosper In his hand He's going to magnify Himself In his heart And by peace Destroy many What does Russia say today All we want is peace They don't say What peace they want All they want is peace In the sense that They want peace From freedom for war They are looking Ascans At America Because America's Building up A tournament In a most Unrighteous way So they want peace And will America Please not make That many rifles And that By peace He shall destroy many And we're reaching Into that I believe Even the peace In the Middle East Is coming into the Pattern of peace That's going to flow Through the whole world Until they say Peace and safety Then that sudden Destruction comes upon them But says Paul That day shall not Overcome you So you see By peace He shall destroy many And he shall stand up Against the prince Of princes And he shall be Broken Without hand Without hand The little stone Was cut out of the Mount without hand By divine process That's the way He's going to be broken By a divine process And before He's going to be broken He's going to Occupy Persia We are told that

44. 31:44

    In the 7th chapter Of Daniel And at verse 7 Because here we have The fourth beast In the three beasts Of Daniel Chapter 7 In the lion In the In the bear In the leopard And in The fourth beast You notice Incidentally The eagle That's going to mention In the fourth beast Now this fourth beast He says Is dreadful And terrible And strong Exceedingly It had great iron teeth It devoured And break in pieces And stamped the residue With the feet of it That's what it did It stamped the residue With the feet of it Keep that in your mind At the moment I'll refer to it In verse 19 Its teeth are of iron And its nails are brass So you see As far as this Fourth beast Is concerned Which represented The Roman Empire It is also going to Represent the Grecian Empire There's going to be A unification Of the west And the east The iron And the brass Constantinople Was the capital Of the east Rome was the capital Of the west So this Fourth beast Has teeth of iron And it has nails Of brass And it's going to Bring about Though the two Divisions of the nations Will remain In itself Will extend its influence Right over The western world Until it is Brought about The confederacy Of that image But notice This important principle It stamps the residue With the feet of it The Roman Empire Extended Right throughout here But it didn't Occupy Persia At no stage In the history Of the Roman Empire Was Persia Ever occupied It's an amazing Fact of history That at no stage

45. 33:38

    Was the mighty Roman Empire Able to occupy Persia But the requirements Of the prophecy Are that it does so It's going to Stamp the residue With the feet of it It's going to Consume all those Other beasts And one of those Beasts of course Represented The power Of Persia The bear It represented The power of Persia But at no stage Did Rome Occupy Persia So the time Must come When the Romans When the fourth day When the latter day Manifestation Of the fourth beast Will occupy Persia And I believe It will stamp it With the residue Of its feet And now Another important Thing is Emerging In the history Of our Contemporary times As Daniel Saw it You know In the eleventh Chapter of Daniel He deals with The king of the north He deals with The king of the north Early in the chapter He points out How that on the Death of Alexander The great The empire Will be divided Into four parts Answering Under the four Generals Of Alexander's army The two Of those Nations Occupied The prophecy Of Daniel Eleven The king Of the north And the king Of the south The king Of the south Was Egypt And it occupied This area here Up about The point Of the Gaza Strip today It was under The Ptolemies And they became The king Of the south The king Of the north The initial King of the north Extended his influence Right throughout This area here Right throughout Syria Right throughout Iraq Right throughout Iran Until you come To Afghanistan And Pakistan Of today The initial King of the north Occupied all

46. 35:29

    That area there And now In the eleventh Chapter of Daniel And at verse Forty In Daniel Chapter eleven And verse forty You read At the time Of the edge Of the king Of the south Pushed him And the king Of the north Shall come Against him Like a whirlwind In verse thirty Six You have a king Neither north Or south The king Of the north Has disappeared But now At the time Of the end The king Of the north Emerges again And isn't it An amazing thing That we see That at the present Moment All this area Here Iran Afghanistan Pakistan All that area There Is in a state Of flux Overnight It's heavenly Afghanistan Pakistan Already links With Russia And right Throughout this Area here The same Thing Is Applies And so You see At the time Of the end Shall the king Of the south Push it Him Now you may All know What I'm Telling you But just To For those That may Not The word Him There does Not mean The king Of the north The king Of the north Disappeared You see In verse Thirty six It's only The king It's neither North or South And that King of Verse Thirty six Is the Roman Power and Occupation Of Constantinople That's the King of Thirty six The Roman Power and Occupation Of Constantinople And when Rome Passed off The sea Turkey Took over And turkey Was right Down as Far as This area Here And at The time Of the South The king Of the South The power And occupation Of egypt Britain Would push It push It him Turkey

47. 37:11

    Fe Fe and a cell of strength and that ecclesia that's what you're here for, not to learn what that book says, I've studied that book very closely, I've marked up every part of it, but not to tell you what it's all about because I might like to know what's there myself, and I find that as that power of that book motivates my life so I can become an assistant to someone else, that is the purpose of a Bible school, Daniel's faith and character is an example to us, he reflected the inspiration that he received from almighty God, we read of Noah that he walked with God we read of Abraham that he walked before God, we read of Moses that he endured because he saw the invisible, we read of Paul that he labored because he looked not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are unseen Daniel's faith with God and so can we in prayer, Daniel Daniel hearkened to God and so can we in the word of God Daniel walked with God and we can do the same Daniel manifested God and that is what we are called upon to do so as we depart brothers and sisters, each to our own sinners, that the inspiration of these things motivate us, let us be excited by the word of God and so moulded by that word, that Yahweh Yatza the moulder, the shape of our lives may shape us in a fashion that will please him and at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ we may be all gathered together as one in that kingdom it's been a great pleasure for both Doris and myself

51. 42:34

    to be with you we hope to say goodbye we do hope that we will never see you again we hope that the Lord until the coming of the Lord we hope that the Lord Jesus Christ may come render these efforts unnecessary and that in the age to come the time that we have shared together may find find profit in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ even so come Lord Jesus Amen

    Well brethren and sisters we thank Brother Pierce for what he has given us against this morning and I'm sure if we are ever to be excited by listening to those things of the word we must have been this morning and we are as sorry to see him go as we possibly can be I'm sure when he has to go back to Australia but we echo his word we hope that next time we see him by the grace and mercy of our heavenly father it will be in that glorious king of righteousness and peace well there's very little time left brethren but we will allow just a moment for any questions you may have and please speak up because I'm one of those who are a bit sick both ways the question is is there any significance that the image was fall from the head down and destroyed from the feet up there is a very great significance in that number one of course the image does in the decision to reveal what shall be in the latter days it does reveal the progress of history and therefore the head was formed it was formed from the head up the head down rather until you come to the feet but as you would observe on the image gold is a very heavy metal so I am told I've never had sufficient of it to find out but gold is a very heavy metal but you come down to feet of iron and clay here it's the image is top heavy and therefore you see though it was built from the head and moved downwards the feet of course

53. 45:12

    are the weak part of that image and so the image was crushed from the feet and was destroyed from the feet Nebuchadnezzar as you will know was a dictator so also will the Lord Jesus Christ be a dictator and therefore the head was of gold whereas the feet are of mixture of iron and clay and hence the fact that it was hit upon the feet it was top heavy it was soon overthrown and the the the stone grinding it to powder become a mountain and filled the whole earth and therefore I believe that it's significant that this came from the top to the bottom and then from the bottom it was overthrown to the top going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 going to醫 !
